study before commencing practice, but that
throughout his whole life the responsibilities
of his profession should rest upon him like
nightmare. He should explore every
avenue of natural knowledge, must become
familiar with chemistry, natural philosophy
and natural history, but, above all, he must
learn the construction of his own frame, the
means by which he lives, moves and has his
being. He must understand the nature of

medical knowledge. Men do not, he says,
easily abandon hope, but as readily put faith
in ignorant pretenders as drowning men
catch at straws "The good that men do in
this life lives after them" During the life
time of old DIR. johnson he invented what
is now known as Johnsons Anodyne Lini-
ment, a standard family remedy of surpass-
ing merit. This liniment is both for internal
and external use, and it Is safe to say that
no single remedy ever discovered has done
so much good as this one. 1t is inexpensive,
ready at moments notice night or day and
may be used with absolute confidence in
the thousand and one ailments that afflict
humanity. In the cure of severe cramps or
pains in the stomach or bowels, dysentery,
diarrhma, acute or chronic, this linment is
a sovereign remedy. In the case of chronic
diarrhna it is certainly worth its weight in
gold. 1t has been known to cure cases of
from ten to fifteen years standing after the
sufferers had been given up.

Reporters Difficulties.

Few have any idea of the difficulty often
met in obtaining information. Much of the
news printed in the local columns every
morning is obtained from unwilling lips,
and the reporter is often obliged to hunt for
facts against every difficulty. Instead of
being surprised at occasional inaccuracies, |
often wonder that so much correct intelli-
gence is obtained so rapidly. Many people
object to giving information because they
fear it may lead to future trouble, while,
on the other hand, many of those who are
ready to talk only lead to error through
ignorance The reporter has to sift out
his facts and put them in the most attract
i've shape, in the briefest manner, and for
such service, important as it may be, he re-
ceives hardly enough for decent support.
The salary ranges from SO TO $50 per week,
but at the beginning it is much smaller.
Many are paid according to space, and are
therefore subject to the blue pencil of the
city editor who has to contine himself
within specified limit, One young man
from the country, who got space privilege
on the Tribune, said he could not get enough
to make 80 "A month.-NeD York Letter.

New York in Summer.


Dull as business must be at this season.
the pedestrian crowd seems undated
while some streets are almost impossible.
West street, for instance, which during my
boyhood was as quiet as Sleepy Hollow, is
now jammed every afternoon by teams de-
livering freight. OF course the jam will
become worse when fall trade opens, but it
is surprising to see the amount of goods
shipped during dull times Then, turning
to Broadway, below the post-otiice, what a
jam one finds constantly occurring! TAX
ing the Fulton street corner as a standing
point an actual count shows that 1000
vehicles pass up and down Broadway in one
hour. Three-quarters of these are trucks
and one-tenth of the number is composed
of cabs but almost all kinds of vehicles may
be seen, and it requires great skill and pa
tience to make Roadway under such a
pressure The pedestrian crowd is on an
equal scale, and it is said that 1900 per-
sons pass the Aston House every hour dur
ing the busy part of the day. Broadway
may well be called the great artery of life,
and it takes a live man to cross even during
this dull season. The entrance of the
Brooklyn bridge is another frequent jam,
and then the rush in Printing House square
seems as great as during any other season.
Journalism, indeed, knows no abatement of
effort or season of rest.-NelO York Letter.

ANOTHER SUICIDE.
Henry b. Davis, Northeast Of Mexico.
Cuts His Throat From
Ear to Ear.

The community was again shocked
Tuesday morning by the announce
ment that another young man had
committed suicide in the country.
The victim this time was Henry b.
Davis, a young man about &c years
OF age, living with his mother, several
sisters and a brother, some 10 miles
northeast of Mexico. The circum-
stances connected with his death are
very sad, as he was a prosperous and
highly respected young man and the
support of ar aged mother, sisters
and brother. AS soon as news ar
rived of the death of young Davis
your correspondent and the oroner
visited the scene of the suicide.
There we learned the following facts,
after which the coroner did not deem
it necessary to hold an inquest:
The victim had been afflicted for
years with Bright's disease and
about five years ago showed signs of
mental arrangement, but in a few
months recovered. His bodily trouble
still held on, but he appeared to be
in his usual health until a few days
ago, when be again became very des-
pendent, and his friends felt grave
fears of his returning mental trouble
and for his life. He was often i'm
portuned to seek the aid of some
physician, and only consented to do
SO last Monday. After his return
home that evening the suspicious of
his mother and sister were aroused
by his calling for a bottle of lauda-
mum, which One of them secured and
poured out. They were now thor
oughly alarmed and kept watch. He
retired to his room early and seemed
to sleep some. The mother and sis
tSA LIZ hOt; uO"SSel, aihI uDOub lOut
o'clock in the morning heard him get
up and walk across the floor. Soon
after they heard an unusual sound
and fastened to his room, only to
find him in the last throes of death,
with his throat cut from ear to ear,
the windpipe and iugular both having
been severed by means of a new and
very sharp pocket knife. He lived
but a few moments. The mother
and sister we're now alone and the
latter FASTENED to the home of her
brother inlaw a half mile distant, fol-
assistance. Another examination was
made and it was found that young
Davis had made two savage wounds
in the breast. one below and one
above the nipple. His terrible death
WAS a sad blow to the family as they
hal no thought Of his being in such
Il mental state. His remains were
